Especially when combined with Hartley, it's treacly and tooth-ache inducing.
In theory, Love is no different than other virtues: Hope, Faith, Joy, etc. I don't know if it is because Love as a name isn't as common or established, but my initial reaction is not positive. It just feels saccharine and cheesy.
Honestly not that bad, it's just a straightforward virtue name like Hope/Faith/Honor/etc. Love and H(e)artly as siblings is a tad cheesy though..

I think it’s sweet but also super cheesy. I know a couple that their daughters middle name is Love and she also kind of a little snob… lol.
My grandma had a sister named Lovey. Very odd. I’ve never heard of anybody else named that… never met her that I remember, but was quite an odd name for someone born in the 1930’s, whose siblings and/or cousins were named Thelma, Darlene, Wilma, etc.

Tragic as a name, lovely is even worse.
Love is at best a kind of tacky middle name. At worst, an extremely unfortunate, overly sweet, overly wordy first name.
With that being said, Lovely is tolerable.
I only say this because my town mayor’s name was Lovely so I’m really used to it.
I hope Love doesn't grow up to marry a guy named Joe.
I also hope that's not where the parents got the idea for the name, but... doubtful.
With the sibling Hartley (hart... heart), and without the You influence, my first impression would be that the parents were some kind of neo-yuppie-hippies, or something.

That was my first thought too! I don't think the show will be so big when Love starts dating, fortunately.
I kind of agree with Sprout. The form of Louis would be more interesting. But the English word love doesn't so much sound like a name. It doesn't match Hartley either. It would've worked better with another name that just so happens to be a surname or unisex such as Reese. Love and Hartley as siblings...it's very different.
Is it pronounced “luv”, like the word, or “loo-veh” as in the Swedish form of Louis? If it’s the first, that’s just naff. If it’s the second, then it’s alright.
It's pronounced like the word love.
i love that name
